Problems with Hydro

Now here is a problem I never expected.

I recently started using Hydro.
I also use a car cover each day at work. I have been doing this for almost 20 years.
Now the paint is so slick when the wind blows, the cover will not stay in place. It slips up the body (yes it is a fitted cover).

Hydro, the good & bad news.

I can see kenchan dropping a nut over this one. That title will have him going before he can read the post.

Velcro would work better. (I'll keep my solution to myself).

The title actually made him Hydroflaccid. But then the content perked him back up.

I dunno if the title would have done it as it is more commonly caused by hydrorectile dysfuntion

Yes but that has little impact as hydrorectile dysfuntion is usually tied in some form to a bad spray nozzle

Question of the day:

Ohhhhhhhhh boy... I can see this thread is going to rival the "Pickup Lines" thread.

Say... if you use Hydro for more than four hours, should you consult Heather and tell her you suffer from Hydropism ? :impatient

Whatever happens between consenting adults and their cars, in the privacy of their own garages, is OK with me as long as no one is harmed because of it.
That said: I do have this grainy 8mm movie involving an elf, a leopard and a 1963 3/4 ton Chevy pick-up with lots of Hydro ...

Yes that is the seedy underbelly from which H&M arose. I have seen triple HHH movies full of Hydromasochism. It wasn't pretty. I mean people in little black rubber suits taunting their cars with Hydro & then at the last moment squirting them down with some no-name Walmart special QD & wiping it off with a terrycloth towel

Okay. So what, exactly, does hydro do, other than make your car slippery?
